Safety in Costa Rica - The biggest hesitation many people have when considering visiting Costa Rica, investing in Costa Rica, or relocating to Costa Rica is the level of safety they can be assured. Most are pleasantly surprised to learn that safety in Costa Rica is better and more secure than many other countries in the world--including the United States of America! Blood Tests: Have You Had One Recently? - People who care about their health often overlook the importance of having regular blood tests. The most comprehensive blood test is known as the CBC/Chemistry Profile. It's inexpensive and measures 35 different blood parameters that can have a powerful impact on the state of your health. For example, one of the many serious disorders that are detectable by the CBC/Chemistry Profile is calcium overload. Does the term "calcium overload" surprise you? After all, we hear so much about the importance of having enough calcium. Calcium overload occurs when too much calcium is removed from bones and deposited into the vascular system. Effective Goal Setting for Addiction Recovery - Many if not most of the individuals who are addicted to drugs and alcohol are not happy with their lives and experience emotional disorders such as depression. Furthermore, many of those who suffer from drug and alcohol dependency say that they are not doing what they really want to do with their life. Learning and applying effective goal setting strategies from the field of Neuro Linguistic Programming can help to reduce drug and alcohol dependency and improve recovery rates by increasing the possibility of a person getting what they truly want from life and as a result being able to experience authentic happiness. Do we need to Micromanage our Bodies? - Do you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, insulin insensitivity, depression, joint pain, back pain, leg pain, a pain in the neck . . . No problem, just get down to your friendly local pharmacy to get the right pills and you're good to go. I hope that sounds sarcastic - because it is. Why do we spend so much money and effort trying to micromanage each little hormone or chemical imbalance in our body? Often times these approaches just end up offsetting something else anyway. Most drugs have side effects For example: - Statins reduce cholesterol but they also reduce coenzyme Q, important for energy production and maintaining good blood pressure. - Aspirin is great for a headache but also reduces vitamin C, important for immune function. Diet, Exercise Beat Drugs at Combating Type II Diabetes - This week the British Medical Journal published a meta-analysis of the best approaches to treating type II diabetes. What the heck is a meta-analysis? It is where a research group looks at all the previous studies they can find on a particular subject and puts them all together to see how much the studies agree. This particular meta-analysis looked at all the ways to treat type II diabetes, whether it were drugs, herbs, diets, exercise or combinations. Diet, Exercise better than Drugs. The researchers found that lifestyle approaches (diet and exercise) were at least as effective as drugs in treating type II diabetes. This is an incredible finding because it provides scientific evidence for what many of us interested in natural approaches have already suspected. Furthermore, the report concluded that lifestyle approaches had far fewer side-effects than drug therapies. Drug Addiction Treatment, Do You Need Help? - Substance dependency treatment is available to assist any individual with an addiction or substance use problem. Each treatment is tailored to individual needs so that they can learn to control their addiction and live normal, productive lives. Let's start with these suggestions: First, you need to admit your problem. This first step may be the hardest step to seeking the drug addiction treatment you need. Obesity - The Major Killer - The fast paced life and the eating habits lead to obesity among 93 percent of the world population. Over weight and obesity have become a common problem. So if you are obese you are not alone. But don't console yourself that you are one among the vast majority of obese population because not taking the corrective actions may lead to dangerous health hazard.

Are Your Painkillers Giving You A Migraine? - Migraine by Prescription? A Cautionary Tale on Painkillers When you sense the first niggling indications of a migraine headache starting, what is the first thing you do? Probably rush to your medicine chest and take a painkiller automatically. Sometimes you may even be taking a pain pill in advance often or even daily, in order to stave off recurrent headaches or because you are anticipating a stressful situation ahead. Did any of those situations strike a cord? Then stop for a minute and think about your headaches. Is there a pattern? Do they seem to have become more frequent and more intense with time, requiring medication more often than before? If you answered yes, then you may be getting rebound headaches, also known as medication overuse headaches or MOHs. Coffee drinkers experience something similar. Coping Responsibly with Addiction - Do You Get It? - Preventing and Coping with Problems While preventing a problem before it happens is usually "better" than facing the problem, typically it also involves a different level of complexity. Let me explain. The Internet: The Latest Form of Addiction? - Internet-Related Addictions In my travels through cyberspace, I have noticed an increasing number of websites and blogs discussing various forms of Internet-related addictive behavior. In fact, I have recently encountered the following online dependencies: porn, gambling, video games, comment addiction (i.e., checking the comments on one's blog), Internet addiction, blog addiction, Technorati addiction, forum addiction, information addiction, MySpace addiction, and addiction to Bloglines. This inventory is obviously not an official list gathered from the medical or psychological literature. It is interesting to note, however, that Internet users themselves are the ones labeling their online behavior and the online behavior of others as "addictive." How Dangerous are Internet Addictions? The False High of Addiction - The Doctor Who Had Everything While scanning the information on the Titusonenine blog, I recently read a post entitled "A Bout With Addiction, for the Doctor Who Has Everything" that captured my interest. According to the post, Dr. G. was an anesthesiologist who became addicted to drugs. After entering a drug rehab clinic, unfortunately, he never returned to his medical practice. The Need for Excitement Dr. G's story was interesting for a number of reasons, but at a very basic level of analysis the problem was clear. To everyone else, Dr. G. had everything: power, financial resources, prestige, position, and respect and admiration from others. Apparently, however, there was one thing that Dr. G. didn't have: excitement--something thrilling that would add zest to his life. Unfortunately, Dr. G. The Effects of Smoking and Drinking On Mental Proficiency - Smoking Can Prime the Brain for Later Addiction An article entitled "Adolescent Smokers Have A Greater Risk Of Developing Alcohol-use Disorders Than Nonsmokers" by Richard A. Grucza, and Kevin W. Chen revealed research findings that are problematic at best. Perhaps the most disturbing was this: research suggests that smoking "primes" the brain for later addiction to alcohol and perhaps other drugs. When added to the following statistic, this information is very disconcerting: alcohol and smoking, when considered independently or in combination, account for more than 20 percent of the annual fatalities in the United States. Alcohol-Use Disorders It is common knowledge that many people started smoking and drinking when they were teenagers. The Basics EVERYONE Must Know About Alcoholics Anonymous And Addiction Treatment - One of the oldest forms of dealing with addiction is to be a member of Alcoholics Anonymous (simply known as AA). Many people that are getting to know about this group of people recently are having some misconceptions about the group. Cholesterol: Good, Bad or Ugly? - The notion that high cholesterol is bad for you is receiving many challenges. An increasing number of medical professionals and researchers doubt this publicly accepted and heavily promoted argument. The past few weeks saw a couple of especially damaging studies that seriously challenge what most of us think we know about the dangers of high cholesterol. Is it good to lower cholesterol? First, a study released a couple of weeks ago linked low LDL cholesterol with increased risk of Parkinson's disease. Remember, LDL is considered the 'bad' cholesterol and is what statin drugs reduce. The new study is preliminary and follow up in a much larger study is on the way. Still, the news flies in the face of most people's opinions that high LDL is bad. Are Drug Companies Destroying The US Health Care System? - The U.S. government's annual bill for healthcare spending - $3,925 per person - significantly exceeds that of all other nations. Despite this, our current health care system is increasingly failing both patients and medical practitioners. Of 13 nations, the U.S. is last for neonatal and infant mortality, last for years of potential life lost, 10th for age-adjusted mortality, 11th and 12th for female and male life expectancy respectively. Chronic degenerative diseases - heart disease, cancer, arthritis, obesity, etc. Should Parents Test Adolescents for Substance Use? - Much has been made recently of the opportunities afforded by recent technology for parents to obtain cheap alcohol and drug testing facilities. So are these a real boon to parents. Is it a positive step being able to test your teenager for alcohol and drugs? The Eyes are the Soul of the Body Iridology is not a New Science - Iridology is by no means a new science. It is often said that "The eyes are the key to a person's soul". Mathew 6, 22 states that "The light of the body is in the eye" when the eye is sound the body is sound". Beyond Sobriety - Congratulations! Now that you are sober, you have released yourself from the bonds of your addiction. Taking your power back from alcohol can be seen as a completion, a graduation, of the first of a series of seven mini "courses". You can now choose to enroll in the second course toward your "degree" in Taking Control of Your Life. Is an Asthma Cure Possible? - One of the major concerns with a possible asthma cure is that the exact cause of the condition is not presently known. There is ongoing research that is trying to determine the exact cause of this respiratory condition and attempt to find the cure. Right now, all the medicine can offer is management strategies and emergency relief when asthma attacks occur. What is known about any possible asthma cure is that it will have to involve several different elements including environmental exposures, pre- and neo-natal health issues, as well as genetic factors. Tamiflu Senses the Sense Behind Influenza - Influenza is a common disease that can strike an individual anytime. But it is not to be taken lightly as it may lead to other diseases. It results from infection with influenza viruses and the effect of these viruses can be found on upper respiratory tract, nose and throat. Upon non-treatment of influenza, the infection also may affect lungs and bronchi which are risky.
